Ford Transit Trail lift kit explained

[greg.ocallaghan]

You can hear the frustration with the new design even though he's doing his best to stay as diplomatic as possible 🤣

Love the transparency of this video! Much needed info on the transit trail for sure.

We have a vid coming out stating Ford should have called it the "Transit Outback". $12k, or something like that? for an AGM battery, Plastic Fenders, hockey pucks and... clearance lights. You'd def. be better off spending that money on the aftermarket to make the Transit a more capable adventure van.

Thanks for the high qualified Review...best greetings from Germany...

Thank you for the video and explanation of what they did. I watched the other video from Vandoit where they compared a Q-lift van to the Trail Transit. My initial thoughts was the Trail Transit lift was better. However now I see some other drawbacks of the Trail Transit lift. That intercooler drop and extra body cladding has me thinking it might not be the best route either. It's great that we have more options but in the end nothing is really a great option. The passenger side short axle shaft is still our nemesis. I just want some better shocks and about 1" of lift. Keep everything as close to stock as possible and run some Falken Wildpeak A/TW4 in a 243/75/16 ( 30.3 x 9.8 ) vs the stock of 235/65/16 ( 28.1 x 9.4 ). Any status on when your new front shocks will come out?

If what you're showing us and saying is accurate then to spend the additional $12, 000 to get the "Trail" package is ludicrous. The vital parts, tranny, radiator, etc that you pointed out got lowered so ground clearance is the same as if you buy a regular Transit. Didn't anyone in ford's engineering department see this? Thanks for sharing this.

Wow! I'll stick with the VC lift thank you😁 This is lameskiis 1000😆

Instead of saying "drop", Ford seems to install a "body lift", hence kept the chassis and suspension the same as they were designed? This was how we used to do it to the old Datsun and Toyota pickup trucks, back in the 70's.

[ParkerRoams]

Does your lift void the warranty? That’s the whole reason I went with a trail for a factory lift and bigger tires. Fml…

[PezRacer]

Great video, the Sprinter still has it over the Transit and the ProMaster, in my opinion.

[taurusview]

When you say they dropped everything, sounds like the new design lowers the center of gravity. Wouldn't this mean a more stable van?

[aronPru]

How did ford increase the track width on these?

[sam.p]

I don’t understand why Americans still use Imperial measurements. What the hell does 2 3/8” look like? Why not just nice simple mm?

[CharlieMander]

Im glad I ordered a Cargo if I don't have enough clearance for my needs then ill look into getting a lift. This doesn't seem like a lift. Its just the body is higher and that sounds like a negative.

[LeeHounshell]

Thank you! Can you offer insight into how Ford will fix the Tire Rubbing Recall on the Trail models?

[ParkerRoams]

Is this only on 24 transit trails or are they all like this?

[lucasstacy]

🤦‍♂️ I ordered one over a year ago it hasn’t even showed up. I suppose I’ll have to bring it to you if I decide to pick it up.

[hbjtf]

is the Transit Trail lift a copycat version of the QLift?

[kschuler]

I feel sad for the owners who waited so long for smoke and mirrors
